04Environmental services contracts: common questions
How many environmental services tenders are live in Scotland?
14 right now, from 11 public buyers, with 3 closing in the next 14 days. We bring together notices from Find a Tender and Contracts Finder and refresh this page every hour.
What do buyers ask for in environmental services contracts?
Where a minimum turnover is stated (1 of the 14 notices we have read), it is typically £100k. The insurance named most often is employer's liability at around £10m. Most requirements sit in the tender documents rather than the notice, so check the pack before you bid.
Can a small business win environmental services contracts?
Often, yes. 3 of the 14 live tenders in Scotland are marked by the buyer as suitable for small businesses, and 5 are frameworks or dynamic purchasing systems (approved supplier lists that buyers then order from). Smaller lots and lower-value contracts are usually the best place to start. Check the minimum turnover and insurance first, as those are the checks that rule most bids out.
05Expert notes: Energy & environment
Energy and environmental work often needs specific accreditations (MCS for renewables, for example) and strong health and safety evidence. Decarbonisation funding means more of these contracts are appearing, often in smaller lots.
